Net Zero Energy
Net Zero ENERGY:
Reduce overall energy use, maximize
efficiency, implement energy recovery
and cogeneration opportunities, and
then offset the remaining demand with
the production of renewable energy
from on-site sources

Holistic Approach Includes:
Demand-side energy use reduction
Energy generation technologies and strategies that also increase energy
security
Building clusters served by smaller central utility plants and microgrids
Flexible implementation strategies
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations, Energy & Environment)
Net Zero Water
Net Zero WATER:
Reduce overall water use, regardless of
the source; increase use of technology
which uses water more efficiently;
recycle and reuse water, shifting from
potable water use to non-potable
sources as much as possible; and
minimize inter-basin transfers of any
type of water, potable or non-potable

Net Zero Waste
Net Zero WASTE:
Reduce, reuse, recycle/compost,
and recover solid waste streams,
converting them to resource
values, resulting in zero landfill
disposal
